Disney’s Zootopia won Best Animated Feature at tonight’s Annie Awards, just one of 10 wins for the studio. The Oscar frontrunner also took home awards for Storyboarding, Writing and Character Design, as well as a Voice Acting win for Jason Bateman (in a tie with Moana‘s Auli’i Cravalho). Last year’s winner, Inside Out, also went on to win the Oscar. Since the inception of the Animated Feature Oscar, all ANNIE Best Animated Feature winners have gone on to Oscar glory except one; Happy Feet beat Cars for the Academy Award in 2001.
Kubo and the Two Strings picked up three wins and The Red Turtle won Best Animated Feature, Independent. Two Animated Short Oscar nominees, Piper and Pear Cider and Cigarettes, won Short Subject and Animated Special Production, respectively. The Jungle Book and Doctor Strange took wins in the Live Action awards and Netflix’s The Little Prince won for its music.
